Income protection for oil and gas workers

A group plan may leave gaps when the job is high-risk.

Field schedules, contract roles and physical duties can make standard benefits summaries difficult to compare. Review the plan wording and the insurer's occupation assessment before assuming a work benefit will cover every interruption.

Questions and answers

Does a group plan cover all oil and gas work risks?

Not necessarily. Benefits depend on the plan wording, your eligibility, limits and claim conditions.

Will every insurer classify the same job identically?

Not always. Disclose your actual duties; insurers apply their own underwriting and occupational classifications.
